Preserving Watchmaking & Repair: We Need Your Help!

Donation protected
We’re turning to you, our amazing community, for help as we work to expand Sangamon Watches shop and preserve the art of watchmaking and repair right here in Springfield, IL. As a small, locally owned business, we’ve poured our hearts into offering expert in-house repairs and assembling our own Sangamon brand watches, all while serving customers nationwide through our mail-in program.

However, with demand growing, we need to upgrade our equipment to continue delivering the high-quality, precise work that our customers expect. Despite saving what we can, we’re still short of what’s needed to purchase these essential tools, and that’s where we’re humbly asking for your support.

Here’s How You Can Help:
  • Make a financial donation – Every dollar goes directly toward purchasing the equipment we need to serve you better.
  • Spread the word – Telling friends and family about our services can make a huge difference.
  • Share our campaign on social media – A simple share can help us reach more people who believe in supporting small, local businesses.




Your contributions will help us acquire essential tools like:
  • Witschi ProofMaster waterproof tester – $6,350
  • Elma Elmasolvex RM cleaning machine – $13,000
  • Silent Precision Air Compressor – $2,500
These tools will allow us to improve our efficiency, offer faster turnaround times, and continue delivering the meticulous care that keeps your timepieces running perfectly.

Why Your Support Matters:
Even if you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing this message can have an incredible impact. Every bit of help brings us one step closer to our goal of providing even better service and preserving this timeless craft.

Join us in keeping watchmaking alive and helping Sangamon Watches grow! Your support not only helps us expand but also ensures that we can continue to offer exceptional service for years to come. Thank you for standing with us and helping to make this dream a reality.

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Sangamon Watches Team
